there are 38 governors up for election between now and the election. those are critical races for women and families in this country. we have seen the priorities of state legislatures across the country. in 2011 and 2012 we saw the greatest number of restrictions on women's do have access to health in the history of this country. we need to make sure we have good, strong, pro-choice women governors to draw the line in the sand. they need to be there to draw the line in the sand to protect women's health and block voter id laws. to make sure that workers' rights are protected. races have already begun at emily's list. i cannot believe that i want to say this, three pro-choice women running in the election right now, you may not know this, but this is exactly how the cycle started. emily's list was involved in four of these elections. we start early, right there in the name. do nothing but we are not looking seriously at 2016 and who will be running them. after the next cycle to come, i would like to open up about 2012 moving forward. thank you so much.

i would say that mexico focus on elections. this idea that clean elections was the main route to a modern democracy was a mistake. many argued in those years that getting rid of the pri was everything, and the problems in mexico's politics was about people, not institutions. one idea, i think it is behind the lack of transformation in mexico. so what can we expect? i would say that we can expect a wave of structural reforms in mexico, telecommunications and their use, education. if 2000 what is symbolic arrival of democracy, an important moment, it was more symbolic than real. today, in 2012, 2013, real changes will begin to happen. it is not just about people. it is about the moment of the deepening of some economic reforms that were initiated in the 1980's an 1990's. probably we will see some action. in 2000, i was talking in a seminar at the americas society new york in the month of march march. it was about the anniversary of the new administration. it is premature and unjust to qualify his first hundred days in office. i w
